The setting is in the future with vintage cars ala 2060 models and very interesting lifestyle of police and public. Drones do sweeps of crime scenes, forensics are far more advanced, and holocaust programming comes into all walks of life, including vending machines with drinks in the form of chew bars etc. <br /><br />Eve’s side kick Detective Peabody who always is outlandishly dressed with quirks and all. A powerful read, not too gruesome and extremely interesting to find yourself in a futuristic reading mode. Unlike Robb’s last book, which was not for the feint hearted, this book is one worth reading and certainly a book you could read again. <br /><br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">---- Reviewed by Judy, Rowville Bookchat</span></i></b>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ReadersCornerReviews/~3/JGWftKCEB8M/calculated-in-death-by-j-d-robb.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Eastern Regional Libraries)0http://readerscornerreviews.blogspot.com/2013/08/calculated-in-death-by-j-d-robb.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741150693343539843.post-6701929167057836910Thu, 08 Aug 2013 01:22:00 +00002013-08-08T11:22:00.537+10:00Elly Griffithsguest reviewjudymysteryThe House at Sea's End by Elly Griffiths<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vy4wXQPJeoU/Ud4J-woangI/AAAAAAAAAkw/nKtrZXg7x4w/s1600/Elly+Griffiths+-+House+at+Sea%27s+End.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vy4wXQPJeoU/Ud4J-woangI/AAAAAAAAAkw/nKtrZXg7x4w/s320/Elly+Griffiths+-+House+at+Sea%27s+End.jpg" width="209" /></a></div><a href="http://swft.erlc.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/erlc/search/results?qu=elly+griffiths+house+at+sea%27s+end&amp;te=&amp;lm=ERLC-S" target="_blank">Find this book at your library</a><br /><br /><a href="http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&amp;db=neh&amp;tg=UI&amp;an=10012240&amp;site=novp-live" target="_blank">Read more reviews at NoveList</a><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">Genre - Mystery</span></b><br /><br />In the pretty cold scenic Norfolk area, a group of archaeologists investigating coastal erosion unearth six bodies buried at the foot of a cliff.
